Yeah it is. I'm a freshman flute in this band. It''s such a great expirience to be a part of such a big band! For any of you other escadrille members reading this, remember...... We're the best, now and still, ALLEN EAGLE ESCADRILLE!!!!!!!!!

@dnineseven 11 лет назад

i graduated four years ago from allen and i felt like the band was extremely close. the measures that they go through to include everyone and the spirit that of the school/city actually makes people more proud to be a part of the band. although i wasnt in band, i was lucky enough to go to the year end banquet every year, i can tell you.....it was better than prom.

To those who complain about this band (because you're jelly of us), I'd like to point out that, unless you're from Hebron, our band is as good as yours, if not better. I've seen bands with 70 members have the same percent of error as our 700 member band. Our shows aren't always as fancy since we can't fit props and our directors like more artsy themes, but that doesn't make our band inferior. We're the best, now and still, Allen Eagle Escadrille!

@gflgaming8003 9 лет назад

It may seem like it but it's useless. Like why so many? Can't your director have sections of the band on at certain times? Why all at once? You're literally walking in step.

@TakkuriHimare 9 лет назад

You know that a majority of this video is just us standing and playing for our drill team and color guard, right? This isn't our main UIL show for that year. That was our first show of the season. Of course it was sloppy, the first show often is since we haven't perfected everything yet. Sections of the band wouldn't work. We'd be limited by what music and what impact we could have. Our band is world famous for size at this point, so we aren't giving that up. We do fine in UIL, and we always at least make finals in competitions even if we don't win. We most certainly aren't walking in step, we marched straightleg until 2014 where it was changed to a different matching style. Watch our UIL videos if you want. Are we the best band ever? No, and we know that, but we always do well enough, impress audiences everywhere, and more importantly, we have a lot of fun being a huge group of band dorks actually succeeding at something athletic. It's not useless, it takes a great deal of precision to deal with marching around that many with out collisions. We also have issue with quiet dynamics, but we can play quite impressive ffffff. In truth, our directors all want to see us succeed as best we can. They work hard on shows every year to make sure we all get a chance to do well. The long and short of it is that there are so many because we like it loud and impressive. All there is to it.

Takkuri Himare Well my band is having a documentary done sooooo...

@TakkuriHimare 9 лет назад

What's your point exactly?

@gflgaming8003 9 лет назад

Takkuri Himare if your band was the "best band and most known band" you would have one yourself

@joecow135 12 лет назад

I love marching band

@shell8402 12 лет назад

Very nice job. Were the Best Now and Still Allen Eagle Escadrille !!!

@THExBLEEDINGxROSES 12 лет назад

Wow. I'm in the color guard, and I had no idea this is anything like what the escadrille looked like!! O.o I didn't think we were so huge until now

@JFRANKMUSICOFFICIAL 11 лет назад

That was my first halftime performance. I loved it

@xero9333 11 лет назад

Man I was a freshman last year I was in that it was so awesome I miss it SOOOOO much. #cantwaittomarchagain

@joecow135 12 лет назад

We r a marching band in Lexington ,Kentucky. We don't have that many members we only have 160 and I'm a freshman trumpet who used to play flute and am planing to learn it again along with piano

@Wacoswim 11 лет назад

That is amazing how huge that band is!!!! 850???????!!! My marching band has near 500; the James Madison University Marching Royal Dukes

@TraceWindham 12 лет назад

Great Video! Thanks for sharing.

@MattTheBandKid 11 лет назад

I'm from California. Tuba player in the LPO Alliance marching band. we had 90 people in our band last year. And we were a fairly large band for the north state. Silly Texas making everything bigger.

@joecow135 12 лет назад

Also I like the cam on the marcher it's a good way to show perspective

@msdmb24 12 лет назад

I'm in the band we are freaking hug my gosh being on the field it doesn't seem like tht many ppl

@dnineseven 11 лет назад

yeah the goal isnt as much to win state/national titles but for everyone in our one school town to be involved in the band if they choose to. matters more to allen than titles for band. they were invited to perform at the rose bowl parade so they still have some pretty special experiences

@UnknowingMan1 11 лет назад

Oh man... I'm an incoming freshman, and knowing that I'm going into the trombone section of the Allen Eagle Escadrille just makes me nervous. Should I really be nervous?

@MaxTindall 9 лет назад

My high school band has 670 and I thought we were big but holy crap

@euphoniumdude25 9 лет назад

I really hope you still use this account because, I am in the Allen Eagle Escadrille and really want to take a video like this. I wanted to know how this camera was mounted for the field view.

@Sharius95 11 лет назад

Yep, but the school has come to terms with it and they still manage to earn 1's in the UIL performances, and the freshman (roughly 1/3 of the band) are cut for those performances.

@MrRickjames3108 11 лет назад

Dang! even if my band had that many kids that wanted to be in we could not support them. How do they pay for all those uniforms and intruments????? crazy amazing!

@jerseydevs2000 10 лет назад

How is it that one Texas high school band can have more members than the Longhorn and Aggie bands COMBINED???

@kmills62 10 лет назад

That's easy....Texas and TAM have auditions for new members. They don't just take anyone that can walk and carry an instrument like Allen High School does.

@TakkuriHimare 10 лет назад

Yeah, Allen Eagle Escadrille lets anyone join, but gives some people alternate positions if they don't march good enough. Plus, the city only has one high school, and Allen has a lot of people.

@msdmb24 12 лет назад

And performing with south lake Carroll was fun but also strange but ill always remeber it

@michelemanuk3806 11 лет назад

One thing I would be worried about with a band log that size is closeness. With 850 members it's not going to be the same. We have 107 in my marching band and we all KNOW each other, we all hang out together and go out, we're family, with our director being the "dad" more so to some of us than others. But with that monstrosity of a band it's not as closely knit, it sounds amazing though. Just there's something beneath the surface that isn't...there.

@miss.rockerxrom9341 11 лет назад

How is this possible out band bearly has 100 members !O.0

@yumasiancooking 11 лет назад

... there are 10 girls on our colorguard team...

@TheGoblinToe 8 лет назад

This, my friends, is Texas High School Football. Going to anything less than Div 1A NCAA ball is a step down for a lot of kids. Get a load of that stadium! Puts most colleges, even some big universities to shame...

@cvrvids 11 лет назад

Is their football team good? I hope so...

@jongoeyong 11 лет назад

So does anyone know their stats for 2013 (drumline included)?

@spadeplaladin5 9 лет назад

Oh my god before anyone says that allen is going nowhere or that they cant do drill or anything, u should probably know that a. This year and the year after that, allen was going through leadership change and as a result the 2012 and 13 years sucked. And b. allen made finals at area b this year which is the most competitive area in texas and one of them in the US (with bands like hebron marcus ld bell, martin, and haltom). Allen had the talent to make the state marching contest this year, and if they were in a different region, Allen would have been in san Antonio this year (not winning but still). Allen is a rising band program with lots of potential who has yet to hit their peak.

@msdmb24 12 лет назад

Wow I can't believe thts wat we look being i the band and doing the movements it doesn't rly look like anything from being i the field

@invectionate 12 лет назад

Oh yea! We did great! Poor Southlake though

@TheFrite92 12 лет назад

850? you guys have about the same amount of people enrolled at my high school.... lolol

@flashbakgamer4 11 лет назад

I thought my 180 member band was huge o_0

@spadeplaladin5 11 лет назад

actually we are able to get 1's at UIL shows. dont speak so highly of your self. i couldnt give 2 shits if you came from southlake and neither could an other person in this comment section. you wanna see a good marching band in the metroplex, look at LD bell. i dont know where you got 100000 from as we are 80000 something. the reason why we only have one is because we signed a waver saying we would. and no its not getting to allen's head. don't let a damn rivalry cloud your judgment.

@TruckinTanker 11 лет назад

you know your band is small when a band has more trombones than people in your band...

@MatthewBaka 11 лет назад

What you would do for a HUGE band is to either make a pattern with a dozen or so marchers and repeat it across the field, or pretend like you have multiple cramped bands that don't interact.

@joecow135 12 лет назад

This isn't a high school band is it?

@jeffreyli7421 3 года назад

It is

@f3nd13y 11 лет назад

Hmm idk, ive heard bands with 1/4 the members with a bigger sound and they can actually make complex sets. When is big too big? right here. Its cool and nice to say you have a massive band but in terms of marching its just not there for me.

@ChadLikeTheCountry 12 лет назад

Ha, it is indeed. The city doesn't want to split the school so they're stuck with 1 senior high school for 85,000 people.

@clairequillen5994 11 лет назад

well we won state so i would say so :)

@tachanonsooksawad3608 11 лет назад

Will not go anywhere.

@rivermegan 10 лет назад

The problem with having such a massive band like this is that there isn't much space for them to do any kinds of formations. All they can do is walk back and forth in straight lines which makes the whole show kinda bland and boring. They do have a decent sound though but I would still love to see them do more marching instead of just standing there like planks of wood.

@spadeplaladin5 9 лет назад

You would honestly be really surprised.. This video was released 2 years ago when the band reached its peak. Is it still large? Yes, but not as much. The show you are seeing is a show done in traditional style which this band has been doing for 10 plus years with some changes. As soon as school begins we start working a corps style show you are probably more used to seeing. Which we do pretty well. Allen this year made finals at one of the most competitive regions for marching band in the country (area b). This year we got to compete with past state winners and grand national finalists. That being said, are we as good as them? Not at all, we made 10/10 in the finals, but if allen was in a different region we would have gone to state this year

@eswany33 11 лет назад

For a huge band it didn't sound all that great, until Seven Nation Army!

@msdmb24 12 лет назад

Is tht suppose to be sarcastic or wat

@TheMightyHydreigon 11 лет назад

i have to say nice sound biggest band in the world nice corpstyle but im not for yall tbh yall may be huge but go to the swac or meac and get yall heads blown off by these other high school bands thats way smaller but there is no reason to be that damn big but this is not a hate comment yall are very good but jus from experience yall get yall heads blown off by bands that dont march corpstyle

@8691grcbandmember 11 лет назад

ummmmm... yeah! way too big... and do you guys perform at a state level? I am sorry, but as a director myself, you just need to able to march, and perform drill as well. But with that said, I am glad you guys are very happy.... I am happy with my 175 members. 13 in a row state champions, and 2 National Grand champions...

@dylan5218 11 лет назад

Lowndes is a band of about 500-600 people and they are so much better. My band has about 250 people and I can say that 800 is too much.

@leym338 11 лет назад

Even though the band is Huge..they have no cool drills/visuals

@allpeeps4me 11 лет назад

I'm not trying to be rude here but the Allen Band is far too large to even drill properly. I graduated from Southlake Carroll and can tell you that quantity does NOT equal quality. The band in question is sloppy as hell. I'm not sure why the UIL is even allowing a city of 100,000+ to only have 1 highschool campus but it's getting to your heads.
